Ive been training at The Method for months now and it has been an incredible experience! Ive been intimidated by weight training in the past and have tried every fad workout plan out there. My time at The Method with Corey has given me more consistent results than I have seen before and made me feel significantly healthier overall. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and the environment is welcoming and not your typical large gym atmosphere. Its really nice to feel like your trainer is really focused on you and creating a truly custom plan. The app they use to track your plan

The Method Training is a great place to go if youre looking to get fit, improve strength, flexibility and mobility. The trainers are courteous and professional with clients. They listen and learn your needs while also teaching you how to best address those areas of concern. Before coming to this gym I struggled with climbing stairs, getting on and off the floor without assistance and with overall fitness. My trainer, Corey, has helped me improve in all aspects. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone.

I have been going to the Method training lab for about 6 months and I absolutely love coming here! All the trainers are so nice and very helpful! My trainer is Corey and hes by far amazing! So knowledgeable and has helped me so much the past 6 months in terms of healthy eating and especially moving my body to its full potential! Im not the most fit person but when I walk in I dont feel any judgment and only feel warmth and positivity! The gym itself is also wonderful, great equipment and they clean after each client and everyone wears a mask . Never have a worry when I go! If you are
